"I, however, place economy among the first and most important republican virtues, and public debt as the greatest of the dangers to be feared." -- Thomas Jefferson. http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/collecti.../mtjquote.html
Though Jefferson really wanted the US to reneg on war debts...possibly to get banks comfortable with the idea that individuals could do the same, as Jefferson was perpetually in debt to fund the construction of Monticello and his expensive tastes in wine, food and slaves. Sort of like our government.
